Creek is an online platform with tools for broadcasting, community management, social fundraising, and content publishing.

Underneath, Creek is a white-label development framework for rapidly building websites that focus on live and recorded audio, like radio stations.

Similar to WordPress websites, each station is independent and unique, and its website exists on its own domain, rather than being part of a bigger network website (like MixCloud or 8tracks).

Finally, Creek ties together services that you already use, like Shoutcast, S3 file storage, and SoundCloud. We keep these services (and your data) in your own hands, and seamlessly connect them into one platform.

Once you get everything assembled, you will have something called a station — yeah boyee.

Google has recently upgraded the Google Drive interface for everyone and according to the support page the web hosting feature is no longer available in the new Google Drive. You can still create public folders inside Drive but the option to publish that folder as a website is gone.

The good news however is that is still very much possible to host sites on Google Drive through Google Scripts (Written by Amit Agarwal) without you having to write a single line of code. Here are the steps involved:

The app will upload the file to your Google Drive, uncompress the archive and generate a URL for your website, just like the original Google Drive. That’s it.

Internally, the app creates a folder inside your Google Drive, changes the sharing permissions to public (anyone can view, you can edit) and then generates the googledrive.com URL using the ID of the new folder.

There’s another workaround too. Open your Google Drive, click the “Gear” settings icon and choose “Leave the New Drive” from the dropdown. You can now publish website using the old method and then switch to the New Drive.
